Introduction
According to industry insiders, Apple sells tens of millions of iPads each year (Bonnington 1). Without a doubt, the brisk sales of iPads make it safe to assume that this type of electronic equipment is very popular in the United States and all over the world. The company makes a lot of money, but entrepreneurs must have an easy time figuring out that there is also an opportunity for them to make money. One of the best ways to earn a profit is to design gorgeous and elegant cases for the iPad (Tabini 1).

Many reasons can explain the spectacular success of Apple’s iPad business. The iPad offers a state-of-the-art and beautifully designed alternative to the laptop (Reality Mine 1).

An iPad is lighter and more convenient to use compared to a laptop (SecureEdge Networks 1).
According to the BBC, and iPad provides wonderful learning opportunities (BBC Interactive 1). In other words, students and teachers are experiencing more fun and excitement in the learning process, if they have an iPad. They will not trade it for conventional tools of learning (Bostic 1). Thus, the surge in demand for iPads will continue shortly.

The great demand for iPad also means that they are more people using it in the classrooms and the workplace. Therefore, there is an expected demand in accessories and other fashion items to personalize the iPad. Students and young professionals believe that fashion accessories are some sort of personal statement for them.

Entrepreneurs who can see a major opportunity in designing and manufacturing beautiful and elegant iPad cases must invest in hiring the best available designer. There will be competitors because there are other entrepreneurs that will also recognize the earning potential from selling iPad cases. Thus, the products must stand out from crowd so-to-speak. It is also important to consider the sustainability of the enterprise. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to create products that are both stylish and durable. They must also focus on creating the most cost-efficient manufacturing system to increase the quality, but at the same time lower the costs of production.
Conclusion
It is important to ride the wave that is created by the surge in demand for iPads. Due to a sheer number of iPads that were purchased in the past several years, many owners are looking for ways to personalize their iPad. It is therefore prudent to offer high-quality products. The most practical choice is a case that users will utilize to provide not only protection for a valuable item but also as a means to convey some form of a fashion statement.
